COLUMBUS, Ohio -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed reporters after LA's 1-1 draw against Columbus Crew SC.
(On LA Galaxy’s performance tonight...)
ARENA: It was a good result. Our team played well tonight. Not an easy game, another game on the road, with a weather delay and that’s hard on the players. We lost a couple players with some muscle injuries due to the delay and all of that. So it wasn’t easy, I give our guys a lot of credit. They played hard and to get a point on the road is always good.
(On LA Galaxy midfielder Sebastian Lletget’s performance...)
ARENA: He played very well tonight. It was a very impressive showing on his part. He did a good job, held the ball up, his passing was good, get out of tight spaces. He did a good job.
(On the change in energy levels between the two halves...)
ARENA: Our team did a good job on the night. Never easy, difficult conditions, difficult with the delay. It makes the game difficult to play teams for sure, but certainly as the visiting team it is not easy.
(On how the weather delay affected the players...)
ARENA: You don’t know when you’re starting, you don’t know. We scrambled around and in the last second we figured out a starting time and the players had fifteen minutes to get ready. That’s about it. We thought the game might have been postponed, actually.
(On keeping a tight defensive structure against Columbus Crew SC...)
ARENA: It’s important in any game. Defensively, we did a pretty good job. Give [Crew SC] credit, they scored a good goal.
